Thank you for this mouse theme, it was just what I needed. I'm amazed that no version of Linux I've seen offers any size mouse cursor other than the smaller-than-windows default size. Even Win98 comes with 3 mouse sizes. Are we all 20 year old Linux programmers with perfect 20/20 vision? I don't think so.

I'd rather have that shadow under the mouse gone, but that's the only change I'd make.

I said it a few years ago and I say it again today, I LOVE THIS MOUSE THEME! Thank you so much!

I just had a small problem installing it this time. I'm running CentOS 4.3 now and the Control Panel won't accept the zip file. It says it's an invalid archive.

I extracted the contents of the archive without problems (aparently there is nothing wrong with it) and moved the whitelarge folder to /usr/share/icons/
After that I started the Control Panel and the theme was there. I selected it and restarted KDE. It works perfectly!

KDE is sorely missing a "double cursor size" option. This goes part of the way to addressing that problem. They had a large cursor configuration option - but it is gone now. 8-(

Any change of a HugeWhite theme?

Hmm. Just noticed; I can't select the "notify:" check box or any of the "icon:" radio buttons on this "add comment" page. (Eventually shift-tabbed around the page and hit space.) That isn't a cursor problem is it? I'm using Mandrake 10 with KDE 3.2

It is another manifestation of the Mandrake 10 / WhiteLarge wrong cursor bug. I'm getting an offset "I" pointer where there should be an arrow pointer and I was missing the small check box. :-( I'll go back to ContrastLarge. Thank you.

I really like this icon theme. Only one icon is missing that prevents me from using it. A CTRL-ALT-ESC sequence on my system changes the arrow cursor to a skull and crossbones and to kill a process by clicking on its window. The kill function is still there, but lack of a visual is confusing.

Hm, I think it looks good this way, would you prefer them with shadows? I found out that doing perfect drop shadows for these pointers is quite tricky, they have to have a bigger value for x than for the y-axis. (x=3, y=1, radius=3, looks best -> gimp2 drop shadow).
